Abstract
This study delves into the role of religion as a potential remedy for fostering peace in Enugu State, Nigeria, during the period spanning 2010-2016. Anchored on sensitivity theory, the qualitative research method was employed to analyze the dynamics of religious influence on peace and conflict. The findings reveal that while religion has historically contributed to violence and unrest, particularly through manipulation of adherents, imposition of laws, and economic factors, there exists a potential for religious tolerance and enlightenment to mitigate these tensions. The study advocates for inter-religious dialogue as a governmental initiative to sustain peaceful co-existence among African Christians and Muslims in Enugu State. Keywords: Religion, Peace, Enugu State, Nigeria, Sensitivity Theory, Inter-religious Dialogue, Peaceful Coexistence.
